Investigations were undertaken for a better understanding of seasonality, interaction with tea ecosystem, and parasitic impact of an endoparasitoid  Cotesia ruficrus  (Haliday) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) on the destructive tea looper  Hyposidra talaca  (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae). The population abundance of  C. ruficrus  was noticed as high in the months of pre-winter and spring seasons which was coincided with the population increase of  H. talaca .  C. ruficrus  found to foraging and collecting nectar from the flowers of  Lantana camera L. ,  Moringa oleifera  Lam., and  Clerodendron infortunatum  L. associated with the tea ecosystem. The life table parameters including intrinsic rate of natural increase ( r m) and net reproductive rate ( Ro ) of  C. ruficrus  were 0.203 per day and 41.11 female offspring/female, respectively, with the gross reproductive rate ( ∑mx ) 50.09 eggs/female. The parasitic impact of  C. ruficrus  has significantly affected the food consumption and development of  H. talaca . Resultantly, a drastic reduction in body weight, changes in differential hemocyte count (DHC), and morphology of hemocytes were observed in parasitized host larvae. Toxic effect of quinalphos and thiamethoxam on  C. ruficrus  showed 100% mortality followed by bifenthrin &gt; deltamethrin &gt; emamectin benzoate &gt; flubendiamide &gt; fenpyroxymate after 72 h of the application.
